Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.

Spike Lee
'25th Hour,' like a lot of my films, takes place in New York City. I've been very fortunate to make films in the city that I live. I mean, it's great going home at night instead of being on location.
Spike Lee
When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.

Spike Lee

Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
Spike Lee
A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.
Spike Lee
This film [Chi-Raq]is a declaration. It's a scream. It's a warning. And I can really break it down to one scene. That's the scene where we have the eulogy and sermon that is given by the great John Cusack.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
I don't think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion.
Spike Lee
I consider Madonna a friend, and she sure knows how to work the publicity machine. Of course, I don't have breasts. If I did have, I'd be in the number one spot over Madonna.
Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
I may have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.
